I happen to know (some useless bit of crap)

[AWonkyDonkey]

IHTK that Queen Elizabeth II is a trained mechanic.

IHTK the rules behind numbering federal interstate highways. (Though a few exceptions have slipped in.)

And that exit numbers increase going north and east, decrease going south and west.

IHTK: Balrogs don’t actually have wings. They are a metaphor.
@Orchidea73

I liked the look in the movie.

 

[barefootgirl69]

IHTK that each piece of chocolate on a Hershey chocolate bar is called a pip.

 

[Orchidea73]

I did.
But. The books.

They didn't have wings in the movie, did they? I don't think the Balrog there did.
Now I have to check.

 

[cascadiabound]

IHTK that the dot over an i or j is called a "tittle"
How titillating!

 

[Orchidea73]

They did.

Okay, I just checked. I couldn't really tell from the Fellowship scene. They looked more like a second pair of arms there. In the opening scene of TTT they look more like wings, although not too large. I think Jackson went with an ambiguous look there.

Funny though. I've seen the trilogy 100 times and I was convinced there were no wings. Which means only one thing. I have to watch the trilogy again.

Let’s watch together this summer!!!

You know, I thought about it yesterday.
Deal.

IHTK that a group of wild rabbits is called a "fluffle"

 

[Sundayschild]

They did.

The falling scene in the second one makes it more obvious. As do some of the collectibles out there..

Also - allegedly - the leader of the orcs beseiging Minas Tirith is supposed to be based on Harvey Weinstein. It's close enough to be potentially true..

People like to point out Interstate 99 is an egregious violation of the rules but there are no others available. The highest odd number not in use, I believe, is 67. 65 and 69 run through Indianapolis, which is 400 miles almost exactly due west of the start of 99.
